I'm looking for a digital camera, other than a Leica (like most people I don't have $7000 bucks at my disposal) that takes nice film quality photos. I'm turned off and slightly tired of the sterile world of DSLR's and I want a camera that has that rich analog look. I take fine art photography, so I'm not worried about being able to change out lenses and all that. Like I said, essentially a Leica M9 would be ideal, but I can't afford it.

I've been looking into the newer Fujifilm X100 and Olympus OMD-EM5. Are they my best bet?

I appreciate all suggestions and guidance!

The only way to make a digital image file look like the image was shot on film, is to use programs from onOne, NIK or Topaz Labs that allows you to add film profiles to your digital images. There are lists of various film types you can add later.

Just so you know, using the term "analogue" is not quite right. You either use film or a digital sensor in cameras. The light coming into a digital camera is "analogue" It stays analogue until it is processed by the in-camera analogue to digital processor.

You seem to have gone from one extreme (Leica M9) to the other (Fujifilm X100 and Olympus OMD-EM5.)

What you need to do is compare the sensor performance of all the available digital cameras. Pick the one with the best performance that is within your budget and then visit a proper camera shop to see which of them you like the best.

This link lists camera sensors and their performance.

If you start with a high quality digital image, you will have a better chance of producing better looking images in post production where you will tell Photoshop which film you want to emulate.
